A week without staff ... what will I do?

Maya enjoying her first putting range.

Our staff are officially off for a week starting today and I know it sounds spoiled but I already miss them. It means we don't have a vehicle, so the only means of getting around is taxi. It also means I have no help with Maya until Jared comes home. My shopping days have been put to a stop for awhile. It also means cooking and cleaning ... urgh! It will definitely be an interesting experience living through Idul Fitri first hand. From what we hear, more than 30% of the locals leave Jakarta during the holiday. Ramadan itself has been a huge eye opener. Fasting all day followed by fireworks and chanting all over the city at night. Pretty amazing.
